If you had the money to retire at 30, your savings would be invested and on an average year your earnings would cover your expenses. You would have health insurance, so no worries there. The only catch is that you would have to keep your expenses at 65% of what you spend right now. Would you take it, or would you rather work a few more years for a better lifestyle and financial security?

    The entire world has been sold the concept that the only “moral” lifestyle is to sacrifice your life to earn

    EVERY society is Capitalist in practice, and those that deny it it, are lying.

    I wonder why…

    And yes, ALL corporations are sociopathic, by definition. There are NO exceptions.

    This you?

        Corporations aren’t inherently bad. It’s the money that corrupts. The love of money is a root of all kinds of evils.

        You can run a corporation that provides a good service to society, pay a fair wage and provide good employment locally. However, to make a large corporation, a lot of the time requires the said corruption, you need to fight and cheat your way to the top, cutting corners as well as employee benefits.

          Let me tell you a story about how corporations used to be time limited, for the public good, and held their members directly financially responsible.

          The reasons? At the time people recognized corporations as a concentration of capital and it needed severe limitations to prevent corruption.

          After a century of lobbying and a whole new legal field around corporate law sprouted up we ended up with corporations that are no longer time limited, that do not have to be for the public good, and their members are no longer held accountable.

          Objectively corporations are horrible and have caused irreparable harm to the environment and society. They have become the dominant form of our culture bending governments to their will and killing off hundreds of millions of people for profit.

          As I said, you are trying real hard to be a bootlicker.

            Okay. This is irrelevant to what I was saying but go off.

              I am not sure we are seeing eye to eye on this and that is okay. I wish you good luck on your learning journey.
